Review: Adorable - I've been reading this online for a while now so I was happy to find out the first volume was translated. Horimiya is a very sweet and funny manga about two teenagers who both have a "secret" side that they don't want their classmates to see. But when they both see each other's secret side, they kind of "hit it off" and become friends. Like I said, Horimiya is very sweet and funny. The art is so lovely and cute. and all the characters are lovable. If you're into light-hearted, romantic comedies, I think you'll like this. And the manga continues to get better, so I can't wait for the other volumes to come out English translated. :)
Review: Excellent! Love the storyline. - After watching the anime on Crunchyroll a few times, I just had to pick up the Manga to see how it differed. The manga doesn’t disappoint and helps to understand the details of the anime that much more. Reading the digital manga on Kindle was great - even on my iPhone. Five Stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Endearing, Interesting and Fun
*by S***R on November 9, 2015*

I didn't know what to expect when I first started reading, though I was drawn in by the art and the premise. For those of us who like shoujo, we can probably acknowledge that there are a lot of shallow stereotypes. And while they make for a lighthearted read, as in the case of this story, they can feel a bit contrived at times. Most of us have probably seen the same character types rehashed many times before: the protagonist is a beautiful, popular straight-A student in public but is extremely diligent and "plain" in her home life. The other main character appears to be a "gloomy" loner and then serendipitously winds up being sweet, charming, and extremely handsome. This, while it is a set of stereotypes that HERO uses, somehow doesn’t feel boring or blasé in “Horimiya.” In addition, the characters feel surprisingly well-rounded for books in the shoujo genre. Hori, the protagonist, takes care of her little brother after school and forsakes her social life for him. It embarrasses her, so she doesn’t talk about it, but she cares a lot about the people around her and she’s a very hard worker. And besides about her “plainness” at home, she doesn’t actually seem to care about her reputation. For instance, she talks to Miyamura at school without caring how others perceive her. Miyamura is also well-rounded for this first volume. He appears stereotypically nerdy and antisocial at first glance, but not only are his grades sub-par, he’s also really sweet and appreciative of friendship. He’s boisterous and courteous, as well as generous, to the people around him – he just tends not to draw a lot of attention. And while this isn’t LGBT+ manga, I feel like it’s more LGBT+ friendly than other shoujo manga (wherein a boy and a girl can’t be platonic friends unless they’re paired with other people, the characters sometimes say things that can be perceived as homophobic, etc.). There are some “gay” jokes, but they didn’t seem disparaging. In fact, they make me question whether or not everyone in this book is 100% straight. They also flesh out relationships a bit more, so Miyamura’s relationship with a rival for Hori’s affections doesn’t stay wildly antagonistic. I don’t want to spoil too much, but I ended up liking all the characters for the most part. Overall, there was a lot I liked about this volume and little I did not. It's a light read and very cute, so for $3 on the Kindle, it's hard to go wrong.
